The Moat We Had to Build
We imagined our supply chain as a castle under constant attack. So we built a moat — one tool at a time.
Master Your Supply Chain Realm
Procurement teams are forced to make critical decisions with incomplete and disconnected information, leading to unnecessary cost and risk. REALM quantifies the cost and supply risk in your network — and gives you the clarity to make the right trade-offs.

How REALM Works
Step 1: Pick a Category
Start with one high-spend, high-volatility category. We'll prove the value before you scale.
Step 2: Load Your Data
We connect to your existing systems and supplier data. No massive IT project required.
Step 3: See Your Risk Quantified
For the first time, see exactly where your Material, Cost, and Information risks live—in numbers you can act on.
Step 4: Take Action
Identify specific opportunities together. Then decide if it's worth expanding.
FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
Learn how REALM can help your organization quantify and manage supply chain risk.
What is REALM?
REALM quantifies supply chain risk across three dimensions: Cost (MACE), Supply (ARMOR), and Information (TOME). It turns incomplete, disconnected information into measurable signals you can act on — from guessing to knowing.
What does MACE do?
MACE answers "Am I paying a fair price?" with should-cost models tied to commodity indices (CBOT, CME, Mintec, BLS PPI) so your benchmarks move with the market. It validates supplier price increases and exposes unjustified gaps.
What does ARMOR do?
ARMOR answers "Will I have supply?" with continuous risk monitoring, risk scores for every category, days-of-coverage calculations, and automated mitigation — before problems become fire drills.
What does TOME do?
TOME answers "Am I making the right trade-off?" by connecting cost and risk together into clear recommendations. It ensures institutional knowledge compounds over time instead of walking out the door.
How do I get started?
90 days, one category. You pick the items. We load your real data — not a demo with fake numbers — and show you your risk quantified for the first time. Value before commitment. Low risk, high signal.
Who built this?
We're not tech people who built a platform. We're procurement people who got tired of guessing. Terry Mahoney (16+ yrs, $950M+ quantified value) and Andrew Luong (10+ yrs, $370M+ protected revenue) built what they needed — and now it's yours.
